Ground almonds create an "almond flour" which is a wonderful substitute for wheat flour for many baking recipes.
Makes about 261/2 cup butter, softened
1-1/2 cups ground almonds
1 cup granulated Splenda
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
2 tablespoons granulated Splenda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
In a medium bowl, beat butter until creamy. Add half the ground almonds, 1 cup Splenda, egg, vanilla, baking soda and cream of tartar. Beat until well combined. Beat in remaining ground almonds. Cover and chill in bowl for 1 hour. Pre-heat oven to 350 F. In a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons Splenda and the cinnamon; mix well. Roll chilled dough into 1-inch balls. Gently roll each ball in the cinnamon-Splenda mixture to coat and place 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes until lightly browned at the edges. Carefully remove from pan to cooling rack to cool completely.

I thought these cookies were very good with lots of cinammin. But the Almonds were pretty strong.

ok, here it is in a NUT shell... great flavor, but the cookies just crumble. They don't stay together after baking. My husband didn't like the texture of the nut flour.

I made these and didn't care for them. They were mushy and had an aftertaste. I may have done something wrong.

Oh these are the best! It's amazing how the crushed nuts acts as flour. You can make these with confidence. I don't think one is a good serving size! Probably more like 10!! Enjoy
